THE STATE DEBT.

It is customary during the heat OF
a political campaign for the Bour boz,
orators and newspapers in this
State to deny with singular unani-
nifty and general directness that
there is such a thing as State debt.
We have been assured time and
again by the managers OF the Bour-
bon dynasty that while there is oc-
casionally an empty Treasury, and
that it has sometimes been neces-
sary to borrow a little money merely
to tide over necessary expense until
the taxes could be collected, there is
in reality no debt, and the financial
affairs of the State are in first class
condition. Were it not for the fact
that the Legislature sits biennially
and the Auditor is required to make
sworn statement Of the condition
of the finances at each session OF
that body, we suppose the people
would remain from year to year in
blessed ignorance of the truth. In
the last report from the Auditor,
dated as late as December 30, 1886,
we find the following data which
will doubtless be interesting to every
reader of this paper. On page 63
appears what the Auditor desig-
mates as "Table u" a descrip-
ton of the invested school fund,
and at the bottom of the page we
find the following entries:

A movement Is on foot 10 build n
monument to the memory Of ex-Presi-

started among a few Of the ex-Presi-
dents friends, and they only intend T.
erect monument over his tomb in
Rural Cemetery, near Albany; but
more than $40. 900 was raised than was
necessary. and then these gentlemen
concluded to not only erect the monu
ment in the cemetery but also large
statue in New York. The New York

matter. and committee was appointed
70 take charge Of the funds and raise
more subscriptions. Mr. Cornelius n.

and he has issued circular stating
that the statue should be erected BY

matters upon which puJlshed interviews
indicate a difference Of opinion between
the municipal authorities. There were
several dealers, however, especially 10
downtown districts, who kept open and
announced their intention to test the
law. The orde which produced this re-

and directed places OF business,
shch as groceries. saloons, butcher shops,
confectionery and cigar stores be kept
closed on Sunday; that newstands and

closed and no hacks were seen on the

wine at their meals, but this practice
did not generally prevail. The
